From the article: (bolding mine)

> [@](#):
>
> During one of the most difficult periods in the presidency of Bill Clinton, **he addressed a group of clerics** at an annual prayer breakfast in September 1998. . . .  
> **Among** those in attendance, was the Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr., who is seen shaking hands with Mr. Clinton in a photograph. . . .

I agree with the rolleyes.  
I do not agree that this thread will provide any substantial discusion of issues.

You can add this to one of our other ongoing feuds if you must, (I would not recommend it), but this thread is closed.
